[Tigers] Carb Issue solved

[tym2 at comcast.net]

A while ago I sent and e-mail to the list regarding the trouble i was having with my car (carburetor).  The car didn't idle smooth and only performed well when I would really get on it.  I have a "built" 302 with a Carter Competition Series carb.

Finally, I took it to a guy who specializes in carburetors.  He took the top of the carb off and it was filled with water - old, black water.  He said it had been in there so long that it was black, and the butterflies were rusty.  He bead-blasted and rebuilt the carb installing new metering rods, butterflies, and bigger jets as he said the car was running to lean.

To make a long story short, the car is now running great.  The obvious question?  The answer is "No."  I have absolutely no idea how the water got in there!

Thanks again for all the support I got from the list.  Helpful as always.
